Only changing the properties in the Firefox page setup (File|Page Setup) will (google is your friend). As for the OOo copy & paste html issue; that's a well known bug that is not present in the standard OOo: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/116750%0A[[ooo-build" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/116750 [[ooo-build</a>] word processor exits without error after paste of html text] and was fixed some time ago. <div><div></div><div class="h5"> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> Well, this is what happened (more or less, anyway): I tried to install OOo3.2 and Package Installer responds, "Error: Dependency is not satisfyable: OOobasis3.2-en-us". Right now I'm reinstalling OOo3.1 --N.B. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
